In announcing the death of Mrs.
Mcdowell, the Chesterfield Adcett:er
saws:
We do net know when it ever eff
fected US more to hear of the death Of
an acquaintance than that Of Mrs.
Mcdowell, the wife OF Rev. James
Mcdowell, Of Manning, S. c., and the
sister OF DR.. J. A. James, of Cheraw.
We deprecate Very much the tenden-
cy all over our country to reserve al
good things to be said o4 a person un-
til they are dead. We are satisfied
that this is all wrong, and that if any
thing good can be said Of a person
that it ought to be said while the per-
son is living, but it seems that no oc-
casion SO appropriate as that Of death
IS seldom if ever offered to Us to ex-
press ourselves. 1t was great pleas
ure to us to be the guest of Mr.. and
Mrs. Mcdowell for few days on one
occasion, and we do not hesitate to
say that the impressions made upon
Us By the Christian principles and
godly walk and conversation of Mrs.
Mcdowell and family will be lasting,
indeed the feeling that predominated
in our breast while taking leave OF
that family was that very few if any in
our State OF any where else were bless
ed with such maternal influence.

body OF a colored infant found dead
in bay near Summecton. Several
parties were arrested and at one time
the affair promised to reveal a sensa-

the child was never alive, and hence
everybody was discharged

The organ OF the ex-AudiJors thinks
it very remarkable that its agents should
be held responsible Tor the "nOD-return
of personal property for taxation" 10
fact thinks it ridiculous and prep0ster-
GUS"
This is not remarkable; indeed it was
intimated in THE CHRONICLE that the
Auditors did not seem to have any con-
ception whatever of the duties and re
sponsibilities of that Office 1t was said,
furthermore, that the apparent loose>
ness and don t-care spirit that prevail
ed in the Office had had its influence
upon the assessors and upon the people.
Why are the Auditors not responsible
Is it not the duty of that officer to over
see the listing of personal property? to
carefully inspect the returns of assess>
ors? to advise them, and to impress
upon them the Importance Of thorough
ly doing their work? No other officer
has any power in the premises-it is
solely the province of the Auditor. The
law clothes him with absolute power,
subject to review only by the courts.
Il authorizes him to compel the attend
ance at his Office of persons, and to ex
anime them under oath. He may com,
pei the officers of corporations to pro-
duce their books at his office. or the Off
GERS of banks to produce their books.
He is given free access TO the records of
mortgages, and 10 every way clothed
with ample power to enable him to corr
rect the tax lists aud TO enforce full
and fair return of personal property for
taxation. If he does not do this. be is
derelict in his duty, and men or cOpora-
tious who have made just returns are
wronged and swindled.

THE Gazette sets forth that at one
time certain individual was Auditor
of this county. and that he made him-
self so "repugnant 10 the people of the
county that he was defeated by another
individual; and then, naturally enough,
proceeds to defend the shirking of taxes
by dishonest persons, assisted by incom-
petent or dishonest officers. or both.
Attention has been called to the fact
that although the county has been one
Of the most prosperous in the state
Although its tax duplicate has in
creased S3,O00,OOO within specified
time
Although its population has increased

Although upward of twenty incorpo-
rated companies dncluding two national
banks and large iron works. have been
organized within the time named
The personaItar list has actually d>creased.
The only explanation offered by the
official mouth-piece of those who are re
sponsible for this most extraordinary
state of affairs is the startling declara-
tion quoted from the organ of our late
wonderful Auditors, and an impudent
defense of the tax shiTkers and their al
lies, the Auditors.
1t may be that men or corporations
who deliberately falsify their tax re-
turns and shirk their fair share of the
burdens of government should be hand
led very gingerly, but We respectfully
insist that men or corporations who try
to make fair returns (and much the
larger number do) have rights that
ought to be considered in this respect
They are the ones that are wronged but
not one word is uttered in their behalf
by the organ of the Democratic ex-Au'
ditors. The skinning pr cess can go on,
TO far as they concerned, and the instru-
ments used to skin them can depend
upon the shirkeTs to keep them in
a place where they can have a high old
time, and do them the most good.
